Sorry for the no doubt repeated question but I'm keen to avoid spoilers. IS this safe to play now?As in is the save bug fixed? If I lose more than half an hour of game time it doesn't matter how good it is, I just stop playing.

The save bug was apparently an issue with some servers or something, rather than something that needed a patch (hence why one solution seemed to be to disconnect from PSN), so it's all fixed now.
